For months have One Piece manga had focused on the God Valley Incident. Oda spent a lot of time on the flashback, which is understandable since it's one of the most important events in One Piece's history.

After several chapters, the God Valley Incident finally came to an end in chapter 1165 with the defeat of Davy D. Xebec. In the subsequent chapter, Oda revealed what happened to the various characters involved in the God Valley Incident.
This post contains spoilers for One Piece.
Xebec was killed by Garling
The great pirate was finally dead
-
Garling got all the praise
In Chapter 1166, Davy D. Xebec was alive and breathing, but he couldn't move. It will not be an exaggeration to say that he could have survived if some members of the Rocks Pirates had decided to help him. Unfortunately, most of them were on their way off the island.
As Xebec lay on his back, he thought of Roger and Garp. The legendary pirate wanted the two of them to get off the island, because he wanted them to live. He was also grateful to them, as they risked their lives to stop his advance. It wasn't long before Garling, Maffey and Sommers appeared in his place. It was Garling who landed the final blow on Xebec, killing him in the process.

Garp and Sengoku wanted a better future for the Marines
When Garp read the paper, he learned how the whole incident had been faked. He was furious and couldn't believe that the World Government would stoop so low. Sengoku was in the room with him, and he replied that he would simply turn a blind eye to the World Government's decision. However, he explained that both the Marines and the World Government were massive organizations, which would make it impossible to hold everyone accountable for their actions.

Sengoku's reasoning angered Garp, causing the latter to attack him. Sengoku thought it was foolish to try to change things when they are not that far from the tops. Garp understood his reason and also revealed that he would be staying with the Marines.
Dragon left the Marines after the God Valley incident
The dragon hated the heavenly dragons

Dragon made his decision after the God Valley incident
In the God Valley Incident, fans saw Dragon in action as a Marine for the first time. Before the arc, many theories suggested that he was actually a naval admiral, but that was not the case. Garp was an ordinary foot soldier assigned to help the celestial dragons. However, the dragon's strong morals did not let him stand idly by while the heavenly dragons killed innocent people for fun. He even attacked a Heavenly Dragon and a higher ranking Marine.
In One Piece Chapter 1166, Dragon was in a prison, where he was talking to Garp. Dragon informed Garp of his decision to leave the Marines. He also told his father that he despised him. Garp showed no emotion and just responded with an “okay”. He also threw away the key to the prison door, which Dragon used to escape.
King Harald regretted not helping his friend
Harald was saddened by Xebec's death

Harald regretted that he would not help his best friend
In the early part of the flashback, Harald and Xebec were often seen interacting with each other. The two met in Marijoa, where they crossed arms, leading to a massive shockwave that wiped out everything within a few kilometers. Xebec was impressed by Harald's strength and wanted to recruit him. He actually tried several times, but Harald stood his ground. Unfortunately, their friendship deteriorated over time.

Harald was also included in One Piece Chapter 1166. He broke down in tears when he remembered Xebec's plea for him. The pirate asked Harald to help him, but the latter refused because he wanted to focus on Elbaf. In the final pages of the chapter, it's pretty clear that Harald was no longer his old self, and Xebec's death had a huge impact on him.
Imu likely made Harald a slave of the World Government
Imu has been interested in Elbaf
-
Imu probably used Domi Reversi at some point
The last panel of chapter 1166 shows Harald and Imu. When Harald arrived outside the naval headquarters, he had only one thing in mind – to ask for the world government's forgiveness. Harald had already said goodbye to his family in Elbaf, so he was ready to go all-out. In fact, he shocked everyone in the area by tearing out his horn.
Harald also made it clear that he would do anything to anyone for the sins of the giants, even if it meant becoming a slave. As previously mentioned, Imu could be seen in a separate panel, suggesting that they heard Harald's offer. It has already been established that Imu is interested in Elbaf, and what better way to control the nation than to make its monarch a slave.
